Terry: I own a '58 Cub with a 5' belly mower, and I love it. However, it's a proven fact that the magnetic field generated by the rotating blades of the mower will pull the entire mower irresistably toward the nearest rock, even ones you didn't know existed! I've dinged up a couple of blades, and had to weld one of the supports back together after hitting a stump I didn't know was there. Other than these fairly minor inconveniences, I've had no trouble at all with my mower in 2 years of operation. If your belts are installed and tightened correctly they're no more trouble than any other belt-drive piece of equipment. Considering that my Cub is 45 years old and still going strong, I figure I'll run it for a couple more decades and then trade it in for something that will last.....:-)
